“Mayhem on the Ferry”
Hi, I’m Thaddeus Zoon. I grew up in the 50’s and 60’s in what is called the Tri-State Area — where Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Delaware come together. It was a great time to be a kid, especially when you had a knack for finding things like I did. What started out as a favor for my absent-minded dad, ended up taking me on some pretty crazy adventures. It all started when I tried to find something that didn’t want to be found on the Cape May – Lewes Ferry.
Come back with me as I remember a time when life was simpler and a good mystery could happen where you least expected it!
Meet my Ma…
Ella Zoon was the May Queen of her second grade class and loved to roller skate with her best friend, Betty Fischer. She volunteered at the Stage Door Canteen during the war and kept all the letters she received from lonely soldiers who remembered the vivacious girl who gave them a dance.
One of those soldiers came back to find a lost love. You’ll never guess how that turned out!
